Antica Bottega del Vino

City of
Verona

Marte van Liere

Meet Marte van Liere, a “modernday hippie” operating from the heart of the Netherlands, whose middlename might as well be “wanderlust”.

The vineyards that cling to the rolling hills around Verona produce some of Italy‚s finest wines, from the well-known Valpolicella and Soave, to Recioto, a luscious dessert wine, or bubbly Prosecco and Franciacorta.

The best enoteca to pass a leisurely afternoon of “degustazione” is the historic Bottega del Vino, which has a vast choice of wines by the glass, but beware of getting carried away as prices are not cheap.
